it cares not by what method it is
reached. There are certain automatic
truths which require no demonstration.
They are seen to be true the moment
they are stated. Who can doubt
that the whole is greater than the part2
There are certain corelatives of thought
which, if not true, would make reason
real and tottle from its throne. Who,
for an instant, can think of an inside
without thinking of an outside? Who
/ can think of circle without thinking
of the circumference? Who can think
of the Ego without thinking of the
Non-Ego? We cannot think of the
finite without thinking of the infinite
Leave out thoughts of the infinite and
absolute, the finite and relative have no
meaning. We cannot know or even
speak of ourselves as finite beings
did we not have in our minds being
that has no limitations undetermined
by himself? Here then we have a new
method of reasoning a method which
does not follow the artificial law of syl-
logysm, but which follows the Utmost
law of thought itself.
The speaker followed out this line of
thought, securing fabric of magnif-
cent reasoning which completely con-
flutes the theory of Herbert Spencer that
man cannot know God, and proved that
we have in ourselves the consciousness
of an infinite being, which is the intel
lectual demand for a God.

Following is the programme for the

week at the Normal:
COLLEGE OF EMPORIA.
The closing exercises of the college
of Emporia commenced on Thursday,
June 8, with the examination of
classes. Yesterday afternoon the
closing religious services were
held in the Presbyterian church instead
of at the college as was first intended,
the change being made on account of
the muddy condition of the roads. The
services were held in the afternoon and
the church was. filed to its utmost ca
pacity. Rev. Hendy, president of the
College of Emporia, preached an elO-
quent discourse, taking as his text:
1.-The fear of the law is the instruction
of WISDOM" Rev. +. ID. Altman of the
Lutheran church and Rev. +. L. In
gals of the Congregational church as
sisted in the exercise.

Glass Song-"A Bit of Advice, ,
words by Z. T. Barber, sung by Mr.
. Eckert, and the chorus by the entirl
class. This was certainly the riches
treat of the evening, They were en-
cored the second time, and had to re

iors good advice, and they were no
